Not on view

Design for a brooch with an oval scene showing Judith putting the head of Holofernes in a sack on a blackwork background at center. The scene is related to a print by Jan Saenredam after a drawing by Lucas van Leyden. Three terminals emerge from the top, left and right of the central motif.
